Are Linux netbooks really returned more often than Windows models?

Windows' dominance extends to 96% of netbooks sold in the U.S. in February. Worldwide, 75% of the 15 million netbooks sold in 2008 came with Windows. But Linux, which now accounts for the remaining quarter of sales, is set to challenge Microsoft this year. The first wave of netbooks using the ARM processor is expected to hit the market in the second half of the year, all running a version of Linux -- either the Google Inc.-backed Android, Canonical's Ubuntu distro, or even the Intel Corp.-created Moblin netbook operating system.
